CIVE4320 & 5320: Computer-Aided Analysis of Structures Offered: Fall 2016, Spring 2017, Fall 2021 (Toledo) This course provides a basic understanding on the matrix stiffness method, a commonly
used method for the finite element analysis of frame structures. The topics covered
include: hand calculation methods using the force and displacement formulations, the
direct matrix stiffness method as applied to trusses, beams, and frames, modeling
of hinges, temperature changes and fabrication errors, special modeling techniques
for inclined supports, offset, and semi-rigid connections, and shear deformations.

CIVE3310: Structural Analysis Offered: Fall 2017 onwards (Toledo) This course first examines the analysis of statically determinate structures. Shear
and moment diagrams for beams and frames are considered, along with influence lines,
three-pin arches, and cables. Deflection calculations using the double integration,
moment area, and virtual work principles are covered. Analysis of indeterminate structures
is examined with the use of the force, slope-deflection, and moment distribution methods
as applied to beams, and sway and non-sway frames. Portal and cantilever methods are
also studied.

CIVL410: Structural Concrete Design Offered: Winter 2014 (Ryerson) The course provides fundamental knowledge in designing reinforced concrete members
for axial, flexural and shear effects. The topics covered include limit states of
design, engineering properties of concrete and reinforcement, design of reinforced
concrete beams for shear and flexure, design of continuous beams and T-beams, development,
anchorage, and splicing of reinforcement, design of one-way slabs, design of columns,
and design of concrete members for serviceability.

CIVL407: Structures III Offered: Winter 2014 and 2015 (Ryerson) This course provides an overview of structural design. Limit states design principles,
including service and ultimate loads, are discussed. Structural analysis fundamentals
and approximate chart-based methods are studied. Reinforced concrete, steel, and timber
structural elements, including beams and columns, are designed for axial, flexural,
and shear actions. Basic deflections calculations are introduced. The course concludes
with a discussion of the interaction of structural elements in building structures
and the load transfer mechanisms.

CIV100F & CIVE1150 Mechanics Offered: Fall 2011, 2012 and 2014 (Toronto); Spring 2019, Fall 2021 (Toledo) The principles of statics are applied to composition and resolution of forces, moments
and couples. The equilibrium states of structures are examined. The free body diagram
concept is emphasized throughout. Vector algebra is used where it is most useful,
and stress blocks are introduced. Shear force diagrams, bending moment diagrams and
stress-strain relationships for materials are discussed. Stress and deformation in
axially loaded members and flexural members (i.e., beams) are also covered.
